The "Book of Job," Jung's Response To It,
And The Implications For Us
Today

Presented byReverend Christan Amundsen

November 10,

Jung's Answer to Job is perhaps
one of his most controversial works. Written not as a
"cool and carefully considered exegesis," but rather as a
"subjective reaction" to the text, Jung raises disturbing questions about
the nature of the Western idea of God and about Christianity's apparent
unwillingness to come to terms with "divine savagery and ruthlessness."

In no other work is C.G. Jung more plain spoken, blunt and to the point.
With honesty not typical of many scholarly works, Jung reveals his own
heart and soul. He also leads us on a journey of spiritual discovery with
the rigor of his questions.

In this presentation, Rev. Christan Amundsen, Gnostic Minister, author and
psychotherapist, takes a careful look at the Book of Job itself, Jung's
response, and the implications for post-modern people.
